A recent landmark Jamestown Foundation report maps Chinese United Front operations, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) effort to co-opt and weaponize civil society against the CCP's enemies.The report, titled “Harnessing the People” and authored by researcher Cheryl Yu, identifies more than 2,000 such organizations operating in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. More than 1,000 are operating in the United States.They span a wide range, including student, business, professional, cultural, and “friendship” groups as well as media outlets.In this episode, I sit down with Peter Mattis, president of The Jamestown Foundation. Few understand this complex web of Chinese influence and espionage operations as well as he does.His storied career includes roles such as senior fellow with the U.S. House Select Committee on the CCP, staff director of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC), and counterintelligence analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency.The United Front has two distinct areas of operation: inside China and outside China. Basically, every Party committee in China has a United Front department, Mattis said. But, he said, “the big part of the work that really matters to us happens outside. ... This is a system that involves hundreds of thousands of people.”“Mao Zedong described United Front work as a tool to storm and shatter the enemy's position,” Mattis said.One key task of United Front operations overseas is to find people, in particular scientists and engineers, who “are susceptible to recruitment,” Mattis said.Many seemingly innocuous civic groups in Western countries—for example, the China Overseas Friendship Association—are used to observe, identify, and then target people who could be useful for technology transfer or even intelligence purposes.How are targeted people approached? Typically, it's through one of the estimated 600 talent programs that Beijing has created for this objective, Mattis said.Programs include the Young Thousand Talents Program, which targets early-career STEM researchers, and the Hundred Talents Program, which targets scientists under 45.Out of the four Western countries explored in the report, Canada has by far the largest number of United Front organizations per capita, five times as many as the United States.Why, I asked Mattis, is Canada so important to China?“It is a soft underbelly to the United States [and] to the rest of NATO,” he replied.In Canada, he told me, there has been far less pushback against United Front organizations than in the United States.“These groups have never really had to hide themselves. They never really had to be careful, and therefore, they could just sort of move and operate,” he said.There are even high-level Canadian officials, senators or MPs, “that you see embedded essentially in a network of these United Front organizations,” Mattis said.In this episode, Mattis breaks down the playbook of Chinese United Front operations. Here's how they co-opt overseas Chinese communities, monitor and pressure dissidents, and manipulate electoral outcomes.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
Vaccine policy in the US is something of an ideological battleground. Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr is a vaccine sceptic, and since taking office he has attempted to remake US vaccine policy. In March a judge blocked his proposal to cut the number of jabs that are recommended for kids. At the same time, last year saw the worst measles outbreak in the US in decades. There were more than 2000 cases last year, and three people died. There have been more than 1500 cases so far in 2026. There's a lot going on, so it's possible the public's views on vaccination are shifting. A new poll published by online news site Politico added a big claim into the mix. According to the headline “more Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it”. But is that what the survey actually found? Dr David Higgins, a paediatrician and public health assistant professor who writes a Substack called Community Immunity, explains why he believes the headline is misleading.

Subpoenaed documents released by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) reveal that American public health officials were well aware of COVID-19 vaccine safety signals for myocarditis and ischemic stroke in people over 65—well before they alerted the American public.Last year, as chairman of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Johnson issued a subpoena to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeking six categories of COVID-related data, including vaccine safety surveillance data and myocarditis records.From the subpoenaed data—enormous dumps of what has ultimately become about 11 million pages—Johnson's team found that the CDC was well aware of the myocarditis risk even in early 2021. Yet they downplayed it instead of alerting the public, Johnson said.Johnson's team also found that the White House modified wording about a safety signal for ischemic stroke with the bivalent booster for people over 65, changing “moderately elevated” to “slightly elevated,” according to records.In our wide-ranging interview, we dive into what Johnson and his team discovered after sifting through millions of documents. What did America's public health agencies really know about the COVID-19 vaccines back in 2021 and 2022? What was hidden from the American public? And what has compelled Johnson to make this issue his number one priority?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
Seizures demand fast decisions, but the best answers aren't always simple. In this episode, we sit down with Skyee Edwards, a pharmacist, to break down seizure cessation and prophylaxis in real-world emergencies. We go beyond traditional benzodiazepine-first thinking and explore how current evidence guides escalation to agents like levetiracetam, valproate, and fosphenytoin. Then we step into the evolving edge of care: where ketamine and lacosamide fits in refractory status epilepticus, and when propofol becomes a tool instead of a last resort. We also dig into common pitfalls such as delayed escalation, under-dosing, and not appreciating non-convulsive status. If you manage seizures in any high-acuity environment, this conversation will sharpen your approach from first contact through definitive control.

Arrests relating to the “Russiagate” Trump–Russia scandal are coming soon, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. This happens as prosecutors are building a case around a so-called “grand conspiracy” that links various campaigns to prosecute or remove President Donald Trump from office and that alleges it was all connected to a single unified plot.We'll discuss these topics and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

For decades now, we've been told the biggest questions of how life and our universe came to be were settled. But what if they're not?Stephen Meyer has spent his career digging into the deepest mysteries of our existence. A philosopher of science, he is the founder of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture and the author of the New York Times bestseller “Darwin's Doubt” and “Return of the God Hypothesis.”“Many leading evolutionary biologists today are calling for a new theory of evolution, because they recognize that the mutation-natural selection mechanism has limited creative power,” Meyer says.While Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection can explain small-scale variations—for instance, finch beak size changes, moth wing color changes, or bacteria developing antibiotic resistance—it cannot explain the origins of new species or new body plans, Meyer contends.Now, in a new film, “The Story of Everything,” coming to theaters April 30, Meyer lays out a case that could reshape how we think about life itself.“The scientific discoveries of the last one hundred years and right up to the present are pointing in a very different direction than people thought in the late 19th century,” Meyer says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Lev Parnas is a Soviet-born American businessman and former associate of Rudy Giuliani. Parnas, Giuliani, Igor Fruman, John Solomon, Yuriy Lutsenko, Dmytro Firtash and his allies, Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova, were involved in creating the false Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory, which was part of the Trump–Ukraine scandal's efforts to damage Joe Biden. As president, Donald Trump said he did not know Parnas nor what he was involved in; Parnas insisted Trump "knew exactly what was going on". In October 2021, Parnas was found guilty in U.S. Federal Court on six counts related to illegal donations to the 2020 campaign of Donald Trump. He was sentenced to 20 months in prison, three years of supervised release and $2,322,500 in restitution on June 29, 2022. In early March 2026, Parnas announced his candidacy for the Florida 27th district seat in the 2026 election. ----------LINKS:https://levparnas.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Parnashttps://www.occrp.org/en/investigation/parnas-adventures-in-magalandhttps://www.c-span.org/video/?c5110982/lev-parnas-testifies-coordinated-effort-falsely-accuse-biden-familyhttps://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Parnas-Lev-Written-Statement.pdf----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Drawing on his role as a former gatekeeper between Trump and Giuliani and his experience in “shadow diplomacy,” he argues Trump is not a friend to Ukraine and is driven primarily by money and power, viewing Russia as strong and Ukraine as weak, with future profit motives tied to rebuilding resources coordinated with Russian interests. Parnas criticizes Michael Cohen and Michael Wolff as unreliable and calls Anthony Scaramucci the most credible of the three discussed. The group discusses decades of Russian oligarch money and influence in Western real estate and politics, propaganda shaping US attitudes toward Ukraine, and Putin's relationships with other leaders. ----------
This week, Conrad had the pleasure of interviewing two of his coworkers within the Marine Fisheries Ecology Program at Mississippi State University — Danielle McAree and Alena Anderson — to discuss their journeys through fisheries science, their graduate research on shark life history, and the unique experiences that shaped their careers. Together, they explored how hands-on fieldwork, data analysis, and mentorship within the program have deepened their understanding of fisheries science. Takeaway message: Never say never.

In the past few days, MrBeast, the YouTube titan Jimmy Donaldson, has been at the center of swirling drama and business maneuvering that could shape his empire's next chapter. Fast Company reports a stark drop in his video views over four consecutive uploads, plummeting from 119 million to just 56 million, sparking debates on whether YouTube's algorithm is faltering or audience fatigue is setting in amid his high-stakes content grind. This view decline, analyzed in a fresh YouTube breakdown video, underscores potential long-term challenges for his dominance, as creators question if the platform itself is dying.Backlash from the streaming world has intensified over his latest "Streamer Games" event, with podcasts like Punching Down detailing how big names such as Nmplol and Sodapoppin were snubbed from invites, fueling accusations of cliquishness and "punching down" in the influencer scene. Adding fuel, another video exposé reveals MrBeast facing major heat from streamers for pressuring his network to donate to his Team Water charity drive during a live show; he quickly owned the misstep, apologizing and taking full accountability, which might bolster his image as a self-correcting philanthropist.On the business front, Digiday discloses that Beast Industries, his sprawling operation, is rejecting eight-figure brand deals unless they perfectly align with his brand, a bold flex from CEO Jeff Housenbold as they expand the MrBeast monolith into new territories. Meanwhile, Influencity's blog hails the "MrBeast Effect" as 2026's hottest marketing play, with brands eyeing partnerships for his stunt philanthropy to boost visibility without his massive budget.No major public appearances or fresh social media posts popped in the last 24 hours, but this mix of controversy and strategic growth hints at a pivotal biographical pivot for the giver-turned-mogul.Thanks for listening, please subscribe to never miss an update on MrBeast and search the term Biography Flash for more great Biographies.

Once more we take up religion and politics, this time a conversation about President Donald Trump's attacks on Pope Leo XIV—the first successor of St. Peter from the United States—mostly, though not only, over the pope's pleas for peace as Trump rages war against Iran. Why is the incredibly unpopular Trump going after the beloved pontiff? Why does Trump's Catholic vice president, J.D. Vance, argue that Leo should stay out of politics and stick to morality, as if politics was not irreducibly a moral enterprise? Who is Pope Leo, and what seem to be his priorities for his papacy? How to make sense over the arguments about just-war theory that Leo's various statements about war and peace—notably, that God does not hear the prayers of those who wage war—have generated? We answer all these questions, and more!

“Pornography is like a silent epidemic ... but nobody wants to talk about it much,” says child protection advocate Kristen Jenson.She's the author of the “Good Pictures Bad Pictures” series of read-aloud books that teach children how to recognize and reject pornography.In America, kids are encountering porn at younger and younger ages—often without their parents knowing, Jenson says. Once a child has a smartphone, it is only a matter of time until the child is exposed to porn—often by other children. And it's having a devastating impact on their impressionable young minds, Jenson says.“Every school bus in America is a triple X theater because children are showing pornography to other children in buses. I've heard so many stories of five-year-olds getting shown hardcore pornography on a school bus,” she says.Retroactive studies found that the average age kids first view pornography is around 11 years old, but Jenson concluded from her work and research that the average age is much lower.In our in-depth interview, she walks me through many aspects of porn consumption and how children are impacted by it: How does porn affect children's overall development and their chances of meaningful sexual relationships later on in life? How does porn affect children's mental health? How does it affect their sexual health? Do children get addicted to porn? How are girls impacted by porn? How do sexual predators use porn as a grooming tool for kids?Violent porn, in particular, is a huge problem in itself, Jenson said. By the age of 18, the vast majority of teenagers—about 80 percent—have been exposed to violent porn: “That's the main fare out there. It's violent porn. It's hitting, it's slapping, hair-pulling, strangling.”Many children's perception of sex is poisoned by violent pornography. She told me a story of a girl who was kissed by her 12-year-old boyfriend for the first time: “And he strangled her because that's what he'd seen in porn.”It is perhaps unsurprising then that there has been a steep increase in what is called child-on-child sexual abuse over the last decade. In fact, about 70 percent of all sexual child abuse cases are now child-on-child, she said: “Kids love to imitate. When you add in the factor of pornography ... it is not surprising that some of these children want to go ahead and act out what they see in pornography,” Jenson says.So what should parents do to protect their children?Simply telling your children that porn is bad is not good enough, she said. Children need to be given three basic things: a vocabulary to talk about pornography, a warning against it, and a plan of what to do when they are exposed to it.To help parents in this endeavor, she wrote her book series “Good Pictures, Bad Pictures.” These books, geared to different age groups, are meant as a tool to help parents with such conversations: “The point is to model parents talking to their children. It's really important to open that conversation.”“One of the most loving things that you can do for your child is to give them a defense against not only pornography, but all forms of sexual exploitation,” she says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Is it "opposite day" in the financial markets? In this episode of Volatility Views, Mark Longo is joined by Russell Rhoads (Dr. VIX), Andrew Giovinazzi from Option Pit, and Scott Nations from Nations Indexes to deconstruct a wild week where bad news for the world seemingly became fuel for a massive equity rally. The team dives deep into the "Bizarro" nature of the current landscape—where a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz resulted in a market surge and a ceasefire triggered explosive upside momentum.

We've come to the end of the “mainstream” top-40 best-selling herbs list! Dandelion, rhubarb, and ginseng take the last three spots.Dandelion is an herbal workhorse. It's inexpensive because it's ubiquitous, and its resilience is legendary – dandelion coming up through the concrete is one of the herbalist's favorite symbols of resistance and the power of nature. Much more than a simple “detox” herb, dandelion root and leaf improve the functions of our liver and kidneys, feed both us and our gut flora, and eliminate excess fluids from the system. Its bright yellow flowers can even lift our spirits when taken in tincture or wine – this is one of Ryn's indispensable herbal remedies for the winter doldrums.Rhubarb root used to be much more of an herbal mainstay than it is in contemporary herbalism. The Eclectics of the 19th century worked with it extensively, largely for its “cathartic” – stimulant laxative – properties. It is a key ingredient in the famous “neutralizing cordial”, a formula developed in that era and designed to be a nearly-universal remedy for digestive upsets of all sorts. This remedy is still prepared by herbalists today, though often with some variations in the ingredient list.Ginseng needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous medicinal herbs in the world, and it is “the original adaptogen” – the category which has spawned millions of dollars in product sales in our stressed-out, depleted, fatigued society. Ginseng products can be extremely helpful, but you absolutely cannot simply buy the first one you find: these remedies are very prone to adulteration. That, too, is an old problem: historical texts are littered with descriptions of adulteration and falsification of supposedly mature, supposedly Panax roots which were nothing of the kind. Some things never change…CLICK HERE FOR FULL SHOW NOTES & REFERENCES“Detox” came up in this episode (again), and we hinted at the issues rampant in this category of supplement products. For the full story, you'll want to dig in to our course Elements of Detoxification. This course takes a fresh look at the concepts of “toxicity” and “detoxification”, a holistic perspective that goes beyond “cleanses” and products. Learn a memorable, practical model for understanding how the body's detox functions work, along with the roles herbs can play in supporting them.Like all our offerings, this is a self-paced online video course, which comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions, lifetime access to current & future course material, twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen.

Scott Simson went from having a dollar in his bank account to generating over a billion views on YouTube - and now he runs a done-for-you agency that turns video into one of the highest-ROI traffic sources in the game. In this episode, Scott breaks down exactly how YouTube can replace (or outperform) paid ads for your business, why long-form video converts at a completely different level than short-form, and the content packaging framework his agency uses to get results for clients from day one. You'll also hear how Scott went from financial planner to family vlogger to agency CEO, why AI has cut his work week from 50 hours down to 15, and how one client flipped from spending $20K a month on ads to getting paid $15K a month from YouTube.

President Donald Trump could take a lesson from former President Joe Biden before leaving office and issue preemptive pardons for key figures around him. The topic of issuing presidential pardons for charges that have not yet been brought has fallen into a legally gray area, but is now being viewed across the aisle as a possible strategy amid alleged weaponization of justice.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Standing on Ireland's wild Atlantic edge is always unforgettable, but if you're planning to walk the Cliffs of Moher coastal trail, a few important updates will shape how you experience it. Cliffs of Moher viewed from the cliffs trail Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail Update: What's Open and What's Not The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre is fully open, and the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail is also open – but they are no longer directly connected. That's the key change travelers need to understand. You can still enjoy both experiences, but you cannot step from the Visitor Centre onto the long-distance cliff trail like you could in the past. Access points at the centre have been closed, even though the trail itself remains open. This article is based on podcast episode 335 featuring Ollie Gleeson, owner of Ollie's Tours, a Doolin-based provider of Cliffs of Moher tours and other adventures.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Cliffs Exhibition at the Cliffs of Moher What You Can Do at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre The Visitor Centre still offers: Easy access viewpoints Views from atop O'Brien's Tower A maintained walking area (roughly 500 meters each direction) Exhibits, facilities, and parking It's a great option if you want iconic views without a long hike – but it's not the full cliff walk experience. What's Happening with the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail The coastal trail from Doolin toward the cliffs remains open and is still one of the most rewarding walks in Ireland. However: The southern section beyond the Visitor Centre towards Hags Head is currently closed Trail improvements are in progress but limited by seasonal restrictions Repairs have already improved sections near Doolin, making parts of the walk easier and less muddy than before. How to Walk the Cliffs of Moher Trail Right Now If your goal is to actually hike the cliffs, you'll want to start in Doolin – not at the Visitor Centre. Start from Doolin for the Best Experience From Doolin, you can: Walk approximately 7 km (about 4 miles) toward the cliffs Enjoy uninterrupted coastal views along the way Reach areas just short of the Visitor Centre This route delivers the dramatic scenery most people expect when they picture the Cliffs of Moher. Use the Shuttle for a “Best of Both Worlds” Day From May through late summer (possibly into September), a free shuttle bus operates from Doolin to the Visitor Centre. A smart plan: Walk the cliff trail from Doolin Return to town for lunch Take the shuttle to the Visitor Centre for additional views This lets you experience both the rugged hike and the classic viewpoints in one day. Parking in Doolin You'll find several parking options: Paid parking on Fisher Street (near shops and pubs) Parking at Doolin Pier Limited parking at businesses like Hotel Doolin (for customers) Plan ahead and avoid leaving your car where it's not permitted for the day. Should You Walk with a Guide? You don't need a guide, but there are a few reasons you might want one. Ollie Gleeson with my tour group before our walk to Doolin (2023) Benefits of a Guided Walk Navigation and logistics are handled for you Safety support on uneven or exposed sections Local stories and history bring the landscape to life The trail can include narrow paths, uneven footing, and changing weather conditions, so having someone who knows the terrain can make a big difference. If You Go on Your Own Keep these tips in mind: Wear proper footwear (hiking boots recommended) Expect mud in places, especially after rain Stay well back from cliff edges Don't underestimate wind conditions Even on calmer days, the Atlantic weather can shift quickly. Weather on the Cliffs: What to Expect There's a saying in Ireland: there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. At the cliffs, that feels especially true. Conditions can include: Strong winds (sometimes strong enough to push sea spray upward) Sudden rain showers Bright sunshine Sometimes all in the same hour Dress in layers, bring waterproof gear, and be ready for anything. Including mud. Meet Your Guide: Ollie Gleeson Ollie Gleeson is a local guide from County Clare who leads daily tours along the Cliffs of Moher and to the Aran Islands. His offerings include: Guided cliff hikes from Doolin Aran Islands experiences, including Inisheer visits Bike tours and even proposal or vow renewal experiences His focus is simple: help visitors enjoy the landscape safely while sharing the stories that make the place memorable. Book direct at Ollies Tours. Learn more & get inspired on Instagram & Facebook. A Memorable Way to Experience the Cliffs Even with access changes, the Cliffs of Moher remain one of Ireland's most powerful landscapes. With a bit of planning – starting in Doolin, using the shuttle, and preparing for the weather – you can enjoy an incredible day along the edge of the Atlantic. And if the wind picks up while you're there? Just consider it part of the adventure.

As I am recording this on Friday, April 10, JD Vance is en route to Islamabad, Pakistan, for negotiations over a ceasefire announced on April 7. This ceasefire is shaky at best. It is clear that there was never a common understanding between Iran and the United States about what might be included in a ceasefire, but American and Iranian delegations are headed to Islamabad to discuss these details. My view is that this will likely be a long and drawn-out process with limited chances for meaningful progress in the near term. Still, the level of violence in the region is reduced from what it was before the ceasefire, and that is a good thing. There has been some reporting that China played a backroom role in helping convince Iran to come to the negotiating table, which I find interesting given the wide range of views among the Chinese foreign policy elite about how Beijing should approach this conflict. My guest today, Jacob Mardell, is Lead Analyst at Sinification, a Substack that tracks these very debates in Chinese foreign policy. He scours Chinese publications, blogs, and official statements to help the rest of us get a pulse on foreign policy debates in China. We have a long conversation about the contours of Chinese thinking about the war in Iran and the broader Middle East, including whether China might be willing or able to step in as a credible mediator, as well as the risks and opportunities China sees if the U.S. gets bogged down in another war in the Middle East.
For two decades, investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann has been researching how the Chinese Communist Party secretly harvests the organs of prisoners of conscience and kills them in the process.He authored the groundbreaking 2014 work “The Slaughter” and, more recently, “The Xinjiang Procedure.”In his latest book, he gathers evidence of how the regime—which has long targeted Falun Gong practitioners for their organs—is now exploiting captive Uyghurs for this same macabre industry.Gutmann traveled to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkey to interview dozens of Uyghurs and Kazaks who had managed to escape after being imprisoned in camps in Xinjiang, China, also known as East Turkestan. Many spoke to him at great personal risk to themselves and their loved ones.What they revealed to him was nothing short of horrific.A central witness named “Samal” described working in one of four medical labs located several stories below the concentration camp. One of the clinics—the one she worked in—was used for intestinal removal.“The other three clinics were there to remove organs. You couldn't see them, but occasionally the door would open. You‘d see somebody handling a kidney, a liver, and so forth. Every day that she worked there … there'd be eight or nine bodies. Sometimes it was as many as 20,” Gutmann said.During his research, Gutmann realized a disturbing pattern. Many of those who disappeared in the middle of the night from the camps were typically 28 or 29 years old.He believes the CCP has made this age demographic its primary target for forced organ harvesting.“You are at the peak of your health. At that point, your organs have stopped growing,” Gutmann says.In this episode, he breaks down the devastating evidence he's uncovered—and the failure of Western institutions to address these crimes.The spread of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology—which keeps organs oxygenated and viable for many hours—has made the CCP's organ trade even more lucrative than before.“Suddenly,” he told me, “you can pull a lot more organs off a single person and get them to distribute them around. And so the profit margin goes way up on a single human being from $100,000 up to almost a million dollars, if they were selling to foreigners.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
